Hii, the name's Francisco, I'm a 24 year old transmasculine person. I don't spend a lot of times in forums at all, but I feel like I needed somewhere where I could either document my journey and share it with people like me. On April first I took my first Testosterone injection (Of course it's so in character that I'd do it on April's fools day). No changes yet, it's only my third day but I'm anxious for anything to start happening.

 

I'm doing this all in secret, only my mom (who doesn't live with me) and my cousin (who does live with me) know about it. It sucks having to be secretive about something that makes me SO happy. Hopefully, by the end of this year I'm gonna be long gone from this household. And I hope that if you're someone dealing with something similar, or that have dealt with something similar, that you're happy and that'll you'll find happiness in the future. Trans people deserve to live.

 

A little bit more about me: I study animation, I'm currently in my last year, next semester I work I have to choose my major. I live with my very lovely, totally not transphobic family. I love animals, especially cats! I love my pets like they're my babies. And I consider myself a creative leaning person.

Hi,

 

It's going to take a while before things start to change. It might feel like it is taking a long time but when you look back it really hasn't. I have been on hormones for a year next month. I didn't experience any changes till about month two or month three. I was happy during my first month because of the placebo effect. Moving forward with something I have been wanting to do for a long time. I started a blog a while ago and try to put in new entries every few days. It's nice to reread what was put down in the beginning. I'm glad you found us and have found a great place to be.

Journaling here seems fun, I have been keeping a daily update on my real life journal, but it'll be fun to have more room to extend myself!

for me, the first day I was SO happy and so excited, so pumped about HRT. but the last two days I've been really sad because I expected somehow to have immediate changes, so I've been depressed about it lol.

And yess, that was my idea behind keeping a journal, to have something to look back on, and see the progress made along the way, I also took a few pictures of myself.

Thank you! and sadly not, not really, my family kinda sucks in this aspect, though my mom has been my rock through this journey so far.

Just remember that transitioning is a marathon and not a sprint. This is a second puberty and just as the first one was it didn't happen overnight either. The most important thing is to look forward to the future. Plan out what surgeries you want if any. Your wardrobe and shoes. I have spent a lot of time in the planning department. I own a whole walk in closet full of clothes and almost 60 pairs of shoes. Retail therapy excites me. Your emotions are going to be a roller coaster as day one it is going to feel great and towards the end you'll want another. I'm on two patches of *** of estrogen each. It has been a fun experience so far. Hopefully get a butt and curves and look more feminine.

      It's like Musk tapping up kids to run around and mess with agency computer systems, Trump has an army of ne'er do wells that write up a sheets of paper to put in a faux leather binder for him to sign. Trump actually has to do nothing but scribble his seismographic scrawl on the page.

      I think everyone, including Rep. Green, realizes that this impeachment isn't going to go anywhere.  What concerns me is that it isn't really serious, and neither is the "proposal" by the Oval Office inhabitant.  I don't think members of Congress, of either party, should be initiating a very serious action for a half baked (or unbaked) "proposal."  Nothing has been initiated, no military or other action has been done, nothing has been set in motion.  All that has happened is that The Guy held a press conference and said something most people consider unworkable at best, and plain stupid at worst.  That is not a valid rational for impeachment.  If it was, every 3rd or 4th press briefing in the modern history of the White House would have resulted in the same.   There will be plenty - probably 4-6 or more, actual things done by this President over the next four years that will be deserving of impeachment.  We should wait for one of them, and not this ridiculous press briefing that was just an excuse to get his face on the front page for three days and spout drivel.   Carolyn Marie

      @Heather Shay thanks! 💗   For me, emotional healing begins with self compassion and acknowledging my feelings without judgment.   Setting boundaries to protect my well-being is just as important. Too many times, I’ve placed my heart in the wrong hands, and losing pieces of myself in the process can be deeply painful.   Healing, like everything in life, comes with its ups and downs there will be both good and difficult moments, but each step forward is a step toward wholeness.

      I would suggest that you  call or visit your nearest LGBTQ Center for recommendations of safe nightclubs in your area.  I have visited your area and know that there are a good number of night clubs there that welcome Cross Dressers where you can meet the others in person.  You might also check with your Chamber of Commerce there in Ft. Lauderdale since they have encouraged CD conventions over the years even with your governors POV on things.

      I'm a bit confused here. You say you're waiting to see the letter F on your birth certificate, yet you stated on your profile that Female is your birth gender. Would you be so kind as to clarify this inconsistency. Thanks.   MaryEllen

      Finding out my legal name and gender change hearing will be on the 18th. I already did do the paperwork last month sending that in. Came in the mail today and cannot wait to see Jackie Lynn and the letter F on my birth certificate

      Welcome to the forums, Michelle!!! I'm sure you'll find like-minded people here who will share information with you. Feel free to wander around, aske questions or just jump into conversations where you feel comfortable.   You may also want to drop by the introductions forum to tell everyone a little about yourself.

      Hi Gloria,   I think it is so incredible that you are approaching this in such a positive way.  Heather and April have already made good recommendations, so all I can add is that as your relationship progresses, maintain open and honest communication.  I have been married for more than forty years and my wife and I attribute our success living with my feminine side primarily because of healthy and honest communication.  We have had a few rough patches over the  years but we have always gotten through them by communicating with each other.   I wish you and your boyfriend the best of luck.

      Government agencies scrub LGBTQ web pages and remove info about trans and intersex people *This also includes disabling social media accounts that support about lgbt+ I hope we still have a place here by this Friday night.

      Hi I new and just looking to meet like-minded people like me. I'm a straight guy that likes to dress up to the nines completely but have no other crossdressing friends or real women to do it with. I would love to find people near me to get all dressed up and maybe go out where that is acceptable but I do not know where and no one to talk to about it.  I'm straight so people like me would be great and genetic women also to help me on that journey.  Thanks Michelle
